- If applicable, complete lines 5 through 12 to calculate the taxable portions and nontaxable portions based on your contributions and distributions.
- Continue to complete Part II if you have converted any traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to Roth IRAs during 2008. Enter the required amounts on lines 16 to 18 related to your conversions.
